Is it Good to Drink Glucose Water Every Day?

Women sometimes experience hypoglycemia in summer and often drink glucose to replenish their body's energy. Glucose is an essential substance for metabolism in the body, so it is considered a good health care product by many people. However, the dosage for people of different ages varies. Children are not suitable for daily consumption, as it may be harmful to their growth and development. Women, middle-aged, and elderly people can drink it moderately every day, which can improve hypoglycemia and anemia. It can also timely replenish energy in the body for the elderly. Is it good for babies to drink glucose water every day? It may bring the following adverse effects on babies: 1. Premature entry into anorexia: The sweetness of glucose water can easily satisfy appetite, making babies unwilling to eat regular milk, which may lead to premature entry into anorexia. Moreover, the nutritional content of glucose water is far inferior to regular milk, and long-term consumption may lead to nutritional problems. 2. Damage to tooth surfaces: After drinking, the sugar water stays in the mouth for a long time, which can easily ferment with bacteria and produce acidified saliva, damaging the fragile deciduous teeth of babies (dental caries). 3. Bad habit of eating sweets: Babies who are accustomed to eating sweets at a young age may find it difficult to quit later, and long-term consumption of sweets can lead to obesity. 4. Bad habit of food preference: Giving babies glucose water may give them a sense of "allowing them to eat snacks besides regular meals." Babies may feel that there is something better to drink than regular milk, and if they don't get it, they may cry hard until they are satisfied, which may lead to the development of food preference. When should babies be given glucose water? The nutrients essential for normal growth and development of infants and young children include sugar, protein, and fat. Carbohydrates are the main source of heat supply in the body. Glucose is a monosaccharide that can be directly utilized by the body. Infants from 1 to 6 months old mainly consume lactose and a small amount of starch in their food. As starch-containing foods gradually increase after 4 months, the various enzyme systems in the gastrointestinal tract that digest starch gradually improve, enabling rapid hydrolysis of starch into glucose and absorption into the blood in the small intestine. After absorption, it can directly supply energy or be stored in the form of glycogen, and excess glucose can be converted into fat. The body does not lack glucose when it does not consume glucose, so it is not necessary to supplement it on a regular basis. However, when a child is sick or refusing to eat and is extremely weak, it is advisable to temporarily feed them glucose to ensure their basic metabolic heat requirements. Sometimes, intravenous administration of glucose is based on this principle. It is recommended to use Taizile infant and child glucose series products. However, believing that glucose has high nutritional value and feeding it excessively and for too long while ignoring the supply of other foods can affect a child's appetite. Moreover, the lack of protein and other nutrients can lead to growth retardation, severe recurrent infections, malnutrition, and other issues. It can also cause transient diabetes due to elevated blood sugar levels, leading to symptoms such as thirst, increased drinking, and increased urination. The glands that produce other digestive enzymes in the child's digestive tract become dormant and can lead to atrophy over time, further reducing digestive function and making it more difficult for the child to consume other types of food. Normal children should be encouraged to eat more starch-rich foods and practice chewing to promote the secretion of salivary glands, enhance appetite and digestive function, and facilitate the development of the jaw, facial bones, and teeth. Benefits of drinking glucose for women: 1. Preventing disease: The main components of glucose are grapes and corn, making it a very healthy food. It can lower blood viscosity, prevent the formation of blood clots, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. 2. Detoxification and expectoration: Some women have poor health due to long-term alcohol consumption and smoking. Appropriate consumption of glucose can help eliminate toxins from the body, eliminate mucus, and relieve discomfort in the throat and respiratory tract. 3. Anticancer: Grapes have certain anticancer effects, and grape powder has the same effect. Women can drink it regularly. 4. Anti-aging: Grapes have a significant antioxidant effect, and regular consumption by women can delay aging. Consuming glucose powder has the same effect and can also prevent heart problems.
